Prolonged/ repeated exposure effects Skin: Inhalation: Oral: Not classified as hazardous Not classified as hazardous Not classified as hazardous Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause irritation to the skin, eyes or respiratory tract. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: Irritation and/ or redness of eyes and skin Medical conditions aggravated by exposure None identified NFPA HAZARD ID: Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 (National Fire Protection Association) NOTE: This material should not be used for any other purpose than the intended use in Section 1 SECTION 4 INHALATION SKIN CONTACT EYE CONTACT INGESTION FIRST AID MEASURES If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs due to excessive vapor or mist exposure, seek medical assistance. Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove and clean oil soaked clothing daily and wash affected area. Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, call a physician. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Ingested material, if aspirated into the lungs, may cause chemical pneumonitis. SECTION 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Appropriate extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers. For large fires, use alcohol- or universal-type foams. Water

3 Page 3 of 8 jets should not be used FIRE FIGHTING Fire fighting instructions: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep the exposed containers cool. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. Unusual fire hazards: None identified Hazardous combustion products: Thermal breakdown of this product during fire or very high heat conditions may evolve the following hazardous decomposition products: Fumes, smoke, carbon monoxide, aldehydes and other decomposition products FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES Flash point C ( F) [method]: >99 o C (>210 o F) [Closed Cup] Flammable limits (approx. Volume % in air) not available Autoignition temperature C ( F): not available SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: Report spills/releases to appropriate authorities as required. CONTAINMENT/ CLEANUP PROCEDURES IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: LAND SPILL: Shut off source taking normal safety precautions. Take measures to minimize the effects on ground water. Recover by pumping or contain spilled material with sand or other suitable absorbent and remove mechanically into containers. If necessary, dispose of adsorbed residues as required by regulations (see Section 13.) WATER SPILL: Confine the spill immediately with booms. Notify relevant authorities. Remove from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbents ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent material from entering sewers, water sources or low lying areas; advise the relevant authorities if it has, or if it contaminates soil/vegetation. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR SPILLS Eyes: Skin: Use proper protection safety glasses as a minimum Washing at mealtime and end-of-shift is adequate Inhalation: No respiratory protection should be needed Precautionary measures: Avoid eye contact. Use reasonable care SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Avoid prolonged/ repeated skin contact. Use with adequate ventilation

4 Page 4 of 8 STORAGE: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store in a cool, dry place; do not store near heat, sparks, flame or strong oxidants. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Prevent small spills and leakages to optimize housekeeping and avoid slip hazards. EMPTY CONTAINER WARNING Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD, BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION; THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Do not attempt to refill or clean container since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations. STORAGE Use reasonable care and store away from oxidizing materials SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES No workplace exposure limits have been established for this product ENGINEERING CONTROLS General ventilation is recommended. No local exhaust ventilation should be needed PERSONAL PROTECTION Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as applications, handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage. Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection should be needed under recommended conditions of use Hand Protection: No special protection is needed Eye Protection: Use proper protection safety glasses as a minimum Specific Hygiene Measures: Washing at mealtime and end-of-shift is adequate. Provide eyewash fountains in the event of accidental splash to the eyes SECTION 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
